UPDATE Week of January 23


getting the Fellows alumni band together!

The Week 
After a great Testimony Advance, the Fellows were back into the swing of things with work and luncheons and classes and...bowling.


Callie's got some bowling style

Round Table...Belated...

This is from last week but Meg is worth being celebrated not only at the Fellows House but also on the World Wide Web. 

It was cheesecake and a special visit from one of her best friends, Kennedy, and a round of blessings for our precious gal. Happy Birthday Meg!


IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN HOSTING US FOR ROUND TABLE DINNER LET US KNOW!!!

Leader Lunch with David Barksdale


We had an awesome Leader Lunch this week at Piedmont Federal with David Barksdale. 

some of my notes:
"Early is good. On time is late."
"$ is important, but it's not the most important"
"find good mentors"
"the greatest among you is the servant among you"
"lead from the back"


moving on up


you know when a speaker connects when this happens

Mid-January Party(s)


The Fellows Alums put on a post-New-Years-pre-Valentines-mid-January-Party. We were on our retreat so we missed it, but I hear good times were had by all!



We celebrated one of the best dudes in Winston, Barnes Harris, on Friday


The Greensboro Fellows came over for a game night last Thursday


Callie, Ned, and Thomas celebrated unicorns because hey, why not?

Non-Profit Gathering


Bookmarks put on a great workshop from non-profit leaders at Crossnore on Wednesday. the one and only Kathy Northington facilitated. Check out that new logo. Woo Hoo!

Recruiting Update

We welcomed Will Parker, one of our 23-24 Fellows on Saturday for a preview of the house.

June 2025

  June brought a change of pace as our formal Fellows programming came to a close. But that hasn’t stopped the Fellows from enjoying some summer fun! They've been transitioning into fuller work schedules, searching for housing for the year ahead, and even managed to sneak away for a beach trip. Recruitment Above is a photo of the Madisons from this past year. One fun fact about Madison Avery (left) is that she joined the Fellows program just two weeks before it started—right in the middle of her sister’s wedding celebrations! Even with such a quick turnaround, Madison jumped in wholeheartedly and has had a truly transformative year. She fully embraced the experience and is now stepping into a full-time role with her Fellows employer. We’re still filling spots for our 2025–2026 class. So, if you know a recent grad or young adult who’s still figuring out their next step, send them our way —Madison is proof that great things can start even at the last minute. Oklahoma! We have a star...

May 2025

May 2025  Above, you'll see how it started versus how it ended. May has been a bittersweet month as we officially wrapped up the ninth class of Winston-Salem Fellows. What a year it has been—full of growth, laughter, challenges, and transformation. Truly, an incredible year worth celebrating! World Relief Race Earlier this spring, the Fellows were deeply impacted by our time with Jon Musser as we learned about the incredible work World Relief is doing here in the Triad. So when they heard that River Oaks Community Church was hosting a 5K to benefit World Relief, they were all in. And apparently, they brought their A-game—Steve and Ellie both placed in their divisions! Leader Lunches Our final two Leader Lunches were spent with two remarkable individuals. First, we heard from Charlie Barham of Cassia Capital, followed by a meaningful conversation with Amy Carlan, Associate Pastor at First Presbyterian. Classes We wrapped up the year with two of our longest classes. First, Gospel-Cen...

April 2025

April 2025 Update It's our last full month with the Fellows from the class of 2024-2025, and it was a full one! We celebrated as several Fellows received job offers to stay in Winston Salem. A couple are still looking, but we are crossing our fingers that all nine will remain here next year.  Bryn and Dean Got Married! Well, they actually tied the knot back in February but we forgot to mention them in the last update! Bryn and Dean actually met walking down the aisle together for AJ and Bailey's wedding a few years ago. Fortunately for us, they are still in Winston Salem. We had a wonderful time celebrating them and enjoying a reunion of sorts with folks from several Fellows classes.  Ecuador Video! The very talented Jed put together a short video to capture part of our time in Ecuador. We couldn't possibly show everything, but please check it out!   Leader Lunches We had another stellar lineup this month! A fun fact: every speaker was either a current or former employers...
